adjective

Origin

Late Middle English (as a verb): from medieval Latin resultare 'to result', earlier in the sense 'spring back', from re- (expressing intensive force) + saltare (frequentative of salire 'to jump'). The noun dates from the early 17th century.

resilient from mid 17th century:
This is from Latin resilire ‘leap back’. The first senses recorded were ‘returning to the original position’ and ‘looking back’; the prime current sense, for someone who bounces back under pressure dates from the early 19th century. Result (Late Middle English) developed from a closely related Latin verb resultare ‘to spring back’.
